No worries. I doubt I will be winning the challenge. If it makes members feel any better, I can exclude myself from the challenge. Again, this challenge is open to WFO owners as well. Feel free to post up your best pies or pies that you think look like Craig's Pizza. If a WFO owner wins the challenge, they will get a nice little prize (not determined yet) and bragging rights.

Jeff, they were done with the heat deflector in place. Anyone interested in the challenge can use a modded or unmodded BS oven or any oven for that matter. I have a theory that NP pies are unique to the pie maker and oven.

I figured based on the balance of heat between the rim and center. looking good!

This one is made from the same process except IDY was used. Some adjustments were made to the flame and this one baked about 70-80sec. It's a spin off of Craig's mushroom truffle oil pie. I love the flavor of this pie. I used a white sauce, cheese, then mushrooms, truffle oil, and black pepper.

Houston and Dallas are a mere 3-4 hour drive apart. Less time then it takes to fire up a WFO hint hint

If I was living in Dallas I would make the trip. To have some of Craig's pizza and hang out with him is worth it. People don't come better than Craig that's for sure. But I don't think it will be long before several Houstonians get BS ovens. Then it's only a matter of time until we see what Craig do a side by side comparison against his Acunto pies.

This might be a potential entry. Has Craig ever used elk meat? Maybe someone could adapt this recipe for a contest-worthy 60 sec. Neapolitan pie. I especially like the beginning and ending with "Praise the Lord and Pass the Elk" It's fun watching anyway.

Most people don't realize how big a state Texas is. From Prosper, TX, where Doc lives, to Craig's house is around 275 miles, with a drive time of around 4 1/2 hours if there are no material traffic slowdowns or stopping to eat and refueling.

If you flip the state of Texas to the East, it extends into the Atlantic. If you flip it to the West, it reaches the Pacific. A short drive is a couple of hours, and if you live out West, you might drive 4 hours to have dinner. Texas is big.
